Product Line Details: Power Stop - Rear Z17 Low-Dust Ceramic Brake Pads with Hardware

The Power Stop - Rear Z17 Low-Dust Ceramic Brake Pads with Hardware are part of Power Stop's performance-oriented product line focused on delivering effective braking with reduced dust output. This line integrates ceramic friction material known for its durability and quieter operation, combined with hardware and shims to ensure proper fit and function. The slotted and chamfered pad design helps maintain consistent contact with the rotor, enhancing braking performance and reducing noise for Mercedes-Benz vehicles.

Technical Features and Benefits

These brake pads feature a 17.5 mm thickness of ceramic friction material on both the inner and outer pads, providing a balanced and long-lasting braking surface. The ceramic composition is engineered to produce less brake dust compared to traditional semi-metallic pads, helping to keep wheels cleaner. Slotted pads allow for better heat dissipation and gas release during braking, while chamfered edges reduce noise and vibration. Included mounting hardware and pad shims simplify installation and help maintain proper pad alignment and performance.

Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or damaged rear disc brake pads on compatible Mercedes-Benz models
• Reduces brake dust accumulation on wheels for cleaner appearance
• Minimizes brake noise and vibration through chamfered edges and shims
• Improves heat dissipation to prevent brake fade during extended use
• Ensures consistent braking performance with included hardware for secure fitment

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Power Stop 17-1689 brake pads, ensure the vehicle is securely lifted and the rear wheels are removed. Clean the caliper bracket and rotor surface before mounting the new pads. Use the included mounting hardware and pad shims to maintain proper pad positioning and reduce noise. It is recommended to check rotor condition and resurface or replace if necessary to optimize braking performance. Follow manufacturer torque specifications for all fasteners.
